"Music was amazing but got a bit lost in the story line"
"A fun musical with lots of great songs - second half much better than the first. Our seats had a bit of restricted viewing although we had a monitor and luckily it was only for about 15 mins of show."

Review score:       4/12/2011
"The show was really good, but the seat we where given where with limited view and people who have vertigo would struggle with these seat like one member of our party. When booking the break I think they should make you aware that it is high. So was disappointed with the seats a member couldn`t watch show."

"Just Brilliant"
"Very funny, sad, uplifting, enjoyable and quite near the knuckle, but jhust a fabulous time. DONT ACCEPT ROW A SEATS IN UPPER CIRCLE, AS A 6 2" TALL PERSON I COULD NOT EVEN SIT IN THE SEAT AS NO LEG ROOM, FRIEND WITH US COULD BARELY SIT DOWN, AS THE THEATRE WAS FULL I HAD TO STAND FOR THE ENTIRE SHOW!!!!!! HOTEL DIRECT SHOULD STATE SEATS ARE RESTRICTED!!"

"Really good feel good show"
"The show was fantastic although the tickets we had were a non starter - there was a description of "possible reduced legroom for the sits in the upper circle but this was an understatement. At only 5ft 6 in height I did not expect not to be able to even sit in the seat I was hovering about 120 inches off the sit with my knees firmly wedged against against the the rail in front, there was no way I could have sat through the show like that, my husband couldn`t even get that far into his seat. We had to pay for an upgrade to the stalls in the end. These seats should not be available for sale"

"The show is amazing, really colourful and vibrant and the music and singing was brilliant!"
"Easy process collecting tickets from box office, but unfortunatley the seats were not very good. We were 4 rows from the back of the theatre and had to spend the whole show leaning forward. When people stand up to dance, which is very hard to resist, you cannot see anything!"

"Flamboyant fun, farce & frolics. Colourful costumes with personalities to match."
"A most enjoyable show. Good seats with a clear view of the stage at all times. Appropriate humour without causing offence. Well choreographed and performed. Actors singers and dancers all `gave their all` to entertain the audience. Couldn`t help singing and tapping toes to the well chosen melodies."

"Girls certainly do want to have fun!"
"An excellent musical which would be enjoyed by all! Fantastic music adding to the feel-good factor the show produces for all those that watch it! The audience feel involved from start to finish, feeling as though they are part of the show stopping performance! I went with my boyfriend and even he couldn`t resist tapping his feet along to the songs and at parts laughed more than me! A musical in my opinion that deserves more praise and publicity! Go and see it!"

"Priscilla Queen of the Desert"
"Fantastic show, definitely worth a see and personally I thought better than the film. Left us all smiling and singing as we left the theatre. Only downside was the seats, we were fine with the limited leg room but propping ourselves forward to see over the ledge was a little disappointing."

"show was great but the seats were the worst in the theatre - back row of the balcony. the view was therefore really restricted - I don`t think it is good value to sell these tickets to your customers. i understand there is an option to upgrade but I didn`t realise this until I had booked and you are unable to make changes to bookings. This would make me doubtful about using your company again - other companies we have used give you the best seats available automatically eg show and Stay"

"However the seats we had were very cramped not the cheapest seats available but we were in row `a` of the grand circle and I found the legroom very resticted, my wife was so enthralled with the show she did not mind, but for the taller person it would be very uncomfortable. The costumes and singing was brilliant."

"Priscilla Queen of the Desert"
"The Balcony option, whilst the cheaper option, will leave you disappointed. the restricted view simply spoils the whole experience as you crane to see the performers and when they move to the front of the stage, they disappear. Pay for better seats."

"Very funny!"
"The show was really lively and had the feel good factor, a fantastic performance. I was a little concerned as there were some small children seated near to us and i feel the show really isn`t suitable for children due to the language. I think there should be some warning that this is an adults only performance. Other than that its fantastic!"

"Fabulously camp colourful show with a touch of poignancy."
"Whoever designed the stage settings, costumes made the show. It was gloriously camp throughout, very colourful and musically great. Particuarly liked the way the bus was done and how it kept changing. Wasn`t sure what to expect from the show but for me it was on a par with Mama Mia for the feel good factor but for adults only. The touch of poignancy at the end was the added extra to bring you back to earth having been on a wonderful entertaining journey."
